UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

[TheGrouchyCat]

I received 18 (!) individual emails about the 603 Challenge.

And, not one appeal from MS7 himself

There is no great loss on the list. The combined +/- for the group is -23 with a total of 12 points

They learned from Cy's -36 career

What is the point of this? No one was talking about Cy.

You called the players with a collective -23 no big loss. So, you have different standards for players with whom you have no personal relationship?

Cy was defensive liability all four years in Durham. I supposehe isn't a loss either. Especially, after he catered offensively and defensively his senior season.

There might have been other reasons for the tough last couple years. I don't have a personal relationship with Cy and I am not normally one for "whining about doing your best" and I give him a pass (from what little I know)

I was just saying it wasn’t a big loss. It wasn’t a comparison. Cy refuse to sign your poster or something to create your hate for him?

Nope. I am judging him by his defensive stat sheet. Not very good, no matter how you try to justify it.

He is one of the most overhyped players Ive seen in the last 20 years play at UNH.

'Just get to the game'. After watching Wisco dismantle heavily favored NoDak team that had a very bad outing at the Frozen Four thats all I could think of. Get to the game and you never know what is going to happen. Told a NoDak fan that was sitting in our row how sorry I was that they lost and she said "we were here". Yup. 54 other teams weren't.

Number 1 and number 2 out. Walking in the arena told Mr HR that Wisco would win it..what a feat for them. Who knows whats gonna happen Saturday for the biggest prize in 'Cawlidge Hawkey' but if you don't get there...you can't dance. Good luck Badgers! Love your mascot!!!

Beating a very good Denver team will take a huge effort..some puck luck. But who knows! Not the first time a lower seed won it thinking back to the Yale and Union wins of '13 and '14.

With the climate being what it is do I think UNH has the chance to be another one of these longshots? You never know. Just get to the game. You gotta do that first.

Ps awesome seeing and chatting with board members who made the trek. Quite a few UNH jerseys in the crowd.

There might be something in common about the last 2 teams standing... The hint is it was also in the last Denver title game...

Both teams right now are not ones you do not want to run into in the Tournament. If you are going to beat them they make you earn it, earn every inch of ice. They play disciplined hockey.

I am sure there are Michigan fans complaining about all the DU power plays, and still those were pretty clear penalties. The hard hit that was called a boarding, it was a high hard hit, that drew blood and Schifsky left his feet, jumped into him, Schifsky was just asking for a penalty by jumping into him and he got one. Duke's penalties were just obvious. Denver just played a more disciplined game, "keep moving your feet and keep your stick on the ice" Carle.

Against MSU, Wisco just kept coming, never panicked, never backed off, never gave up. Against Michigan, Denver just kept coming, never panicked, never backed off, never gave up.

This is rich, coming from the guy who found a passion project in taking personal shots at Ryan Conmy because he was a -1 last season…

If you think the list of guys leaving is a significant blow to next years success then by all means explain. There was no passion project or personal shot, it was I was told.
